Travis Wahl and Joe Woodland each had three goals and one assist as host Farmingdale routed Mountain View (Calif.), 13-4, tonight in non-league boys’ lacrosse.
“We got a lot of our kids back today that have been injured,” Bob Hartranft, Farmingdale head coach said, “Our defense is pretty good; Tyler Ward, Matt DiCarlo and our whole group of defenders did well today.

“Now that we got everyone back we are hoping to get better. We are hoping to make a run for it again; we’ve got our work cut out for us.”
It took both teams a while to warm up. The first goal wasn’t scored until the 4:24 mark of the first quarter. Once Farmingdale scored the Dalers (4-2) started going and never let up. Chris Lopez added one goal and three assists.

“This was a great win,” said Wahl. “We did not know a lot about this team but we definitely wanted to represent Long Island lacrosse well and I feel like we did that today; everyone played great, everyone got their opportunities and everyone cashed in.”

The Spartans (2-7) – who play Wednesday at Plainedge – were led by Grant Wiheman with two goals and goalie Pierce Philp with six saves.

“We were definitely out sized and out matched with skill and speed,” said Joe Juter, Mountain View head coach. “This was a tough team; it’s a New York State Class A champion. We’ve had a tough seed in California, so to come out here and have our guys really step up today, I’m proud of them.”
